Confucius Say:

Wherever you go, there you are.

 I felt like I went crazy once. It really wasn't that long ago, and I'm pretty sure I wrote about it on this blog that I have...Anyway, I don't feel *as crazy* and I think it important to emphasize the AS part. Everyone is a little crazy in their own way. Actually, a very close friend once told me that I'm not crazy. Something horrible happened to me and I dealt with it the best way I knew how to but it proved to be too much. Some times that happens to folks and even though I don't have a physical scar from it doesn't mean I came away unscathed.

This is not the point or focus of my post. I actually get really bored of my own shit, since it's always the same thing that I often wonder if something else would happen just for a change of scenery. I feel like I'm repeating myself. I have to stop for an editor's review...ok, yeah, I've said something similar to this before but whatever, you're just going to have to deal with it or skip this paragraph for crying out loud. Too late, we're all moving on now.

2013 ended on a good note, I started a new job at the Allen Institute for Brain Sciences in the legal department working mostly on material transfer agreements (MTAs) and contracts. It's a decent gig, when there is work to do. So far, there has been a lot (like a ridiculous amount) of down time- like now, where I'm at work and writing my blog. This is what I need. I need to get paid to write this nonsense down. Also, just so it's clear, my boss knows I'm caught up and that I am currently getting paid to hold down a chair. Thankfully it's not metrics based bullshit work, amIright, Amazon?

It's 2014! This year has started out way better than that one year. I went to Las Vegas with my fella (my first time there) and we did well enough to only have to pay for meals the full day we had there. Although we didn't win big enough for a brand spanking new Aston Martin for me, or a Ducati for him (or whatever it is that he wants), or a trip around the world, I'd call it a successful visit. I had my 32nd birthday and to say that I made it to 32 when I didn't think I'd make it through 30 is pretty bad ass. Lastly, I am starting off this year credit card debt free. Suck on that, ex-husband! hahaha! Oh, no, I'm not vindictive or anything like that, it's just with all this new found responsibility, I still need to be somewhat immature and this is my outlet, so let me have it. Really, it feels like I've won the lottery, omit those pesky bills I still have to pay.

So there's that. Years fluctuate with ups and downs, good and bad. Here's to more ups and good and less downs and bad for you, yours and everyone else. Even those who don't really deserve it. Maybe if they have more good, they'll be better people in general. Here's hoping!

Happy New Year, ya jackals.
